Agreed. 1600 parts for $200 or this set in particular isn't good. At first glance there aren't many new parts... maybe new colors in certain elements? Plus the villagers head mold (maybe body mold).. still that's crazy

The set just looks so blah and the colors washed out. I like some of the other minecraft sets, though we haven't bought any.

It's about 12.5 cents a piece. When I first heard the piece count and the price I had a feeling we'd be looking at a set like this. I'm gonna be fair and say the amount of hate for this is expected.
